NAME DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::IP - Auto-create NetAddr::IP objects from columns. SYNOPSIS Load this component and declare columns as IP addresses with the appropriate format. package Host; __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/InflateColumn::IP Core/); __PACKAGE__->add_columns( ip_address => { data_type => 'integer', is_nullable => 0, is_ip => 1, ip_format => 'numeric', } ); package Network; __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/InflateColumn::IP Core/); __PACKAGE__->add_columns( address => { data_type => 'varchar', size => 18 is_nullable => 0, is_ip => 1, ip_format => 'cidr', } ); Then you can treat the specified column as a NetAddr::IP object. print 'IP address: ', $host->ip_address->addr; print 'Address type: ', $host->ip_address->iptype; METHODS ip_class Arguments: $class Gets/sets the address class that the columns should be inflated into. The default class is NetAddr::IP. ip_format Arguments: $format Gets/sets the name of the method used to deflate the address for the database. This must return a value suitable for "$ip_class-"new(); The default format is "addr", which returns the address in dotted-quad notation. See "Methods" in NetAddr::IP for suitable values. register_column Chains with "register_column" in DBIx::Class::Row, and sets up IP address columns appropriately. This would not normally be called directly by end users.
